My FS2000 is my favorite long gun. Wait until you shoot it offhand. The trigger isn't the best, but it is a Bullpup. Everyone who has shot it loves it. If I had to pick 1 gun in 5.56, that would be the one. Congrats!
I was wondering the same thing I have not shot it yet
It looks like I should get the aluminum charge handle

they build up inside for like 2 shots, then the door opens and it spits them all out and stays open and they just kinda plop out an inch or two from the port.
it is a great gun, the gasketed mag well kinda bothers me, but with 30 rd mags it works great

I've got one of the judo chops sitting in my safe ![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
Best sling you'll get for it is the Urban ERT. I also have one sitting in my safe.
Don't run it like an AR. It's not. Euro manual of arms. The gasketing has it's purpose, as does the lack of a BHO. The gun is supposed to be a contained unit, basically close to impervious to all conditions. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN run 20 rounders in it too. I like 20 rounders as a whole, so I might be a bit biased, but give them a whirl with a magpul or ranger plate on it.
You will not have problems with it.

- Orlites don't run in them, so don't **** with those shitty mags
- 10 rounders work too, just add ranger plates- I have a dozen of them for the hell of it and they work great
- it appears you have the plastic charging handle issue solved (WHERE DID YOU GET THE JUDO CHOP?? I NEED)
- trigger can be helped by a "nuetrigger." Look it up on gunbroker. $35 and it's crisp afterwards
- take MichaelJR's advise about the Urban ERT. They are great on the rifle
- the FNH rail is heavy as balls. It does allow you to put a pistol grip on the front, which is nice. But it does throw the balance off considerably
- don't worry about the shell ejection. I've never had an issue. I suppose if you shoot at the sun you might, though, but I think some idiot on youtube debunked this (yikes)
- running wolf laquer steel case rounds in it is fine, but it makes a giant mess (sealed system, keeps all of that shoot and laquer in the frame.... makes a mess for cleaning)
- it runs well with brass and steel rounds
- it has low recoil... lower than an AR
- it fits under a navy peacoat
- masterchief used one when he conquered the halos.

I just picked up an fn fs2000 without doing aany research on it.Does anyone have any input positive or negative on it? Thank-you
The trigger is meh and I wish it had a BHO, but other than that... REALLY nice gun. I've been lusting over one for awhile, for seemingly no good reason.

BTW when I say "meh" I mean worse than a good AR trigger... but I still think it is better than some of the shitty overweight single stage triggers you often find on shitty ARs like Stags, etc.

My FS2000 is waiting at my LGS for me, just ordered a judo chop here:

I'm using a Eotech XPS2-3 with a eotech 2x magnifier. It works well for the range, but the magnifier adds quite a bit of weight. You have to use a XPS2 or XPS3 if you want the rails space for the magnifier + BUIS's (which I haven't purchased yet... the eotech stuff can come off quickly and the mechanical sights on the rifle seem to be fine).
If I did it over again, I'd get an aimpoint with no magnifier or a eotech 552 because AA's are easily found. Granted, CR123 cells don't sell out in "battery panics" like AA's, AAA's, C's, D's etc do in times like Hurricane Sandy.
sweet !! i wanted the green to match my ps90 but all they had wass black
I picked up a Green one last week and hopefully will fire it next week. I didnt need it,but wanted it so I made it happen. I am going to put an Eotech 5.52 on it for an optic. Urban ERT is the next thing on my list.

I like them a lot, probably because they are completely legal under the MA AWB and dont require any molestation. Something about buying a neutered gun just doesn't feel as good to me, though it won't stop me from buying an AR in the future.
that is why I bought it ! And now after owning it I cant believe I have lived with out it

Shot mine over the weekend. What a nice shooter! Had some problems loading rounds, but it may have been an issue with the mag.
Wish I could scoop up another FN rifle (scar 17) but with these current prices, forget it.

I want to pick up a scar I have the fs2000 and ps90 now and love them both!
